Beyond Liability: Selecting a Jury for Punitive Damages
Update: 2025-04-17
Description
When high-stakes trials involve punitive damages, the real battle often begins long before opening statements. In this episode, we unpack the overlooked art of selecting a jury that’s equipped—not just to assess liability—but to deliver meaningful punishment when it's warranted. From religious objections to financial bias, from voir dire blind spots to strategic pretrial motions, we explore how trial lawyers can avoid critical mistakes and build a jury prepared for both phases of trial.
Featuring insights from guest expert Sean Simpson, author of Punitive Damages: The Lawyer’s Tool for Shaping Society, this episode reveals why jury selection is never just about liability—it’s about everything that comes after.
